A Willingboro man that is wanted by police for a Feb. 11 murder at a local gas station has been charged with additional robbery of another gas station on Thursday.

Zedrick T. Johnson, 34, with the last listed address of the unit block of Bentley Lane was charged with one count of armed robbery for allegedly robbing a gas station attendant by threatening him with a knife at the National Fuel gas station on Route 130 and Tenby Chase Drive North in Delran.

Johnson was also charged with murder for his alleged involvement in a robbery at the Lukoil gas station on Route 130 North and Charleston Road that left Bal Krishna Karki, an attendant, dead at the scene in the morning hours of Feb. 11. Police say that surveillance cameras from the gas station captured Johnson in the act of the robbery and murder of Karki.

Police would not release the cause of death as the investigation is still ongoing.

He was also accused of a robbery of a Willingboro convenience store on Vansciver Parkway the day after the Feb. 11 gas station robbery. Police allege that Johnson robbed the Sunny Food Mart convenience store at about 9:15 a.m. on Feb. 12 after putting his hand in his pocket and pointing it at the cashier. He later escaped in the victim's car.

Johnson is described as 5 feet, 9 inches in height and weighs approximate 265 pounds.
